Apple spruces up Macs, iPad Pros and raises prices

So, there you are with the all-new stock wallpaper collection of the premium iPad Pro 2018. It doesn't have the same stunning effect you get from an OLED display, such as you'll find on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, and given the high price the new iPad Pro commands, not having the best screen technology irks.

Apple's iPad ads are full of millennial creatives, but the Pro seems to appeal to more of an older crowd, according to our survey.

It may pay to hold off on the accessories though.

Mashable is impressed by Face IDs ability to work in any orientation (and questions why the new iPhones cant do that as well), but notes a potential issue  depending on how you hold the tablet, you can cover up the TrueDepth camera with your hand.

The new Pencil works only with the new iPad, not with previous versions of the iPad. If you're going to use your iPad Pro in an environment prone to scuffs (when material from the object you've hit transfers to the iPad Pro), you may want to go with space gray.

This is the first USB-C hub unveiled specifically for the iPad Pro.

"I can see any number of ways for me to get rid of my laptop and use the iPad Pro as my main computer - using an iPad is extremely pleasant, and it's nice to use a computer with a touchscreen".

In a report on CNBC by Jon Fortt, the new iPad Pro 2018 is described as nearly looking like a laptop. But over and over again, some annoying iOS limitation stopped me from making the switch. A primarily touch-screen interface is still alien to many workflows. WiredWired had numerous same issues as other sites, but once again highlighted the tablet's impressive power: The inside of the iPad is just as impressive as the outside.
